Our investment build has been absolutely fantastic — fast, smooth, and stress-free. The design by Dean at Vic Turn Key Homes was exactly what we were hoping for, and the build by 3D Constructions was carried out to a very high standard.

Building our investment property with Vic Turnkey Homes was a remarkably smooth and positive experience. From Dean's expert advice on land selection (even facilitating our purchase from Sydney) to the flawless contract signing, every step was handled with professionalism.

appreciated Sam, the colour consultant's expertise and support.

The entire build team lead by Danny was outstanding – friendly, exceptionally reliable, and proactive in keeping us updated. They ensured the final home perfectly aligned with our expectations, with meticulous attention to detail and a clear commitment to quality.

We received consistent updates from Dean during construction, and we were delighted that the build was completed ahead of schedule.

We are thrilled with our new investment property and highly recommend Vic Turnkey Homes for their quality workmanship and reasonable pricing.

evaluation, planning, execution and presentation. One major unforeseen owner-council issue cropped up but Dean's expertise with followups from engaging a hydro contractor to providing required resolution and not asking an additional commisionary cent is commendable. Delivered in less than 4 months by dedicated trades people on the ground and roof overseered by a friendly and serious supervisor in Lachlan who was always keen to communicate with on progress and ensuring a respectable work in progress site appearance. Introduced by word of mouth from colleague at work who gave positive experience about VTH and 3D Construction. We had two previous build attempts in past 3 years with 2 big volume builders that fortunately did not take off as new variables and costings would appear constantly without fail. This fueled increasing and unnecessary mental stress from potential long term financial burden with borrowing. With VTH these variables was inconsequential after clear explanation from standard building guidelines and valid references. Dean did not mince words with false nor colorful promises in cost estimation, expectations and challenges to my project. No hassles, no mucking around, no ego massage, no [Content Removed] for sure ! Hats off to VTH and 3D Construction for their excellent appreciation of challenges with our undeveloped land, our expectations and delivering our house as promised and to our amazement moving in in time for Christmas!

An Outstanding Home-Building Experience with Vic Turnkey Homes – We recently had the pleasure of working with Dean and the team at Vic Turnkey Homes, and our experience was nothing short of outstanding. Dean stands out as a genuine, straightforward professional who doesn't indulge in the typical big-builder tactics of hidden costs and upselling. What you see is truly what you get with him, and that transparency… Read more ·  1

was exactly what we wanted.

One of the biggest challenges we faced was finding a builder who could deliver a 4-bedroom home on our narrow plot. While other builders insisted it was impossible, Dean made it happen. He offered us the flexibility to customise our plan, and the final product is simply stunning. The entire project was completed within an impressive four months, on time and within budget.

Throughout the process, Dean and his team were exceptionally professional. They patiently answered all our questions, provided frequent updates with plenty of photos, and allowed multiple site visits to keep us informed every step of the way. His expertise and guidance meant we could trust the process and minimise our involvement.

The finished home was delivered 100% complete, right down to the smallest details, including gardens, lawns, and even the letterbox and clothesline. The quality of the build is top-notch, and Vic Turnkey Homes conducted a thorough final assessment to ensure everything was perfect. They even helped us find a Property Manager who secured a tenant before the house was officially handed over.

Special mention goes to Billy from Escape Homes, who maintained an impeccably clean worksite. His commitment to quality, attention to detail, and professionalism were evident throughout the project.

We can't recommend Vic Turnkey Homes enough for anyone looking to build a quality home at a competitive price. Thank you, Dean and the entire team of Vic Turnkey Homes.

Smooth build - no complaints – Our build began in February 2024 and handover was completed mid-August 2024.

Any issues we did have, we were able to send an e-mail to customer… Read more ·  1

relations and they would generally get back to us within 24 hrs. Our final cost for the build matched up with our estimated cost with no extra expenses along the way. We were inclined to build with Vic Turnkey because we didn't want the task of organising the landscaping, fencing, concrete driveway and any other bits some other builders don't include. We just wanted to get handed the keys and move our stuff in. In terms of colour/finish selections, the advice we received was professional and open minded. Going into the selection process, we had a few ideas already and it was excellent how we were able to incorporate those ideas with the advice given to create a cohesive looking home which we both liked. Overall, the finish on the home is good - we have no complaints and would build with Vic Turnkey again.

Top Notch builder – When we moved to Lara, we had no intentions to build especially after hearing the recent builder stories via social media. As we were finding it difficult to find a house that ticked all our boxes, a kind-hearted real estate agent introduced us to the idea of Turnkey homes, and we met Dean from Vic Turnkey Homes. Straight shooter, sincere and… Read more ·  1

genuine – that’s Dean for you. Unlike big volume builders who sweep you off the floor at first sight and later get caught out with hidden costs; Dean was “no frills and what you see is what you get” kinda guy – which is exactly what we wanted! The key highlight was having the ability to customise our plan and design for the house. This gave us the luxury of having a proper backyard in our small block in spite of building a decent sized house. Throughout the project management, Vic Turnkey home was very professional, patiently and promptly answered our infinite questions and accommodated our multiple design change requests. We were dreading the colour selection process and Maria (big thanks!) made it cruisy. We were given plenty of photos throughout the build, multiple opportunities for site visits to keep us in loop with the progress of the build. A big shout out to our builder Danny at 3D Construction – gem of a person! True to his word, an honest builder – which is a rarity in today’s world. During the build and post hand over, Danny has gone over and beyond to cater for our requests. Overall, we are very happy with the delivery and highly recommend Vic Turnkey Homes. Top – notch!

The help and support Dean provided to us made me feel, as though he was building his own house and was taking the utmost care, and provided us valuable input. Surely we learnt a lot through the process of building the new house. Even though we had not met VicTurnkey Homes  team and Dean before, it always felt that the interaction was  always friendly, as though we had known the team and Dean for years. Jim, Katherine and Stephanie, Joanne, from Escape homes were also helpful and Professional through out the whole build process. The build was completed as per the quote and contract signed. Surely recommend VicTurnkey and Dean to build your New House. Thanks once again.
